Background

Tamayo was once a married woman with a husband and children. Her life turned upside down when she was suddenly struck with an incurable illness. It was during this time that Muzan Kibutsuji offered to treat her illnesses. Tamayo naively accepted the treatment and was later turned into a demon. In her demon haze, she killed her husband and children as well as other humans. She later served as Muzan's subordinate, plotting to take revenge but later on gave up due to the massive power gap between her and Muzan.

However, after seeing Muzan almost being killed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, the strongest swordsman in the history of demon slayer corp. The passion for revenge was reignited in her. Yoriichi spared Tamayo during their encounter, sensing that she will be an asset to the demon corp. Tamayo eventually escape and plotted revenge for Muzan for hundreds of years before the fated encounter with Tanjiro Kamado and Nezuko Kamado.
